ATTENTION INCOMING IFS STUDENTS

Due to increased IFS student class sizes, some students will be double billeted.  If you would like to volunteer and choose your own roommate, IFS Lodging needs to know this no later than 2 weeks prior to your arrival.  You can do this by contacting the Lodging Front Desk at (719) 423-8505.  Those sharing a room must be enrolled in the same screening track (i.e. Pilot, CSO, RPA).

The Initial Flight Screening (IFS) program, under the command of the United States Air Force’s Air Education and Training Command (AETC), began operations on 1 October 2006. Doss IFS provides initial flying training, allowing students to successfully transition to Undergraduate Flying Training (Pilot and Combat System Officer, RPA training) at one of several U. S. Air Force bases throughout the United States.
